WHAT IS THE USUI SYSTEM OF NATURAL
HEALING?
The word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese kanji for universal life-force energy.Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based
modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy)
throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability. Through a series of hand
positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their body. The
client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required. The simplicity of a Reiki session may raise some
skepticism, however, after experiencing it, many clients keep coming back for more of those relaxing feelings.Reiki is simple and produces measurable results.
It is power, light and love. Reiki transcends the man-made divisions of religion, economics, location, gender, and race.
WHAT IS REIKI TRAINING ALL ABOUT? GENERALLY SPEAKING...
The focus
of Level One is on self-healing and helping others. After the student completes the required training, which may take one
to four days, they are able to practice Reiki and do self-healings. At this level, the student learns the history of Reiki,
the energy system, the nature of the Reiki energy, the Reiki Ethics, the five principles or precepts, the three pillars of
Reiki, the hand positions, how to do a self-healing and how to provide a session for others. At Level Two, the focus is on learning the Japanese
healing symbols and on sending Reiki from a distance (we must always get permission to send a distant healing). It is suggested
that a student wait at least 21 days so that level one can be properly instilled and grounded within the student. There is an in-depth discussion on clearing unwanted
habits, empowering personal goals, and manifesting permanent change in the student’s life. The Japanese healing techniques
are introduced and practiced. Distant sending is practiced. Level Three: In some lineages, the levels of training are taught in four instead of three
sessions. This level can include meditation techniques, a Healing Attunement, the Hui Yin, the Violet Breath, Aura Clearing,
and Reiki Crystal Grids. The Master symbol is given but the student is not taught how to attune others or teach Reiki.Level Three Master/Teacher: Here, the focus is
on attuning others to the Reiki energy and on teaching Reiki to others. An essay is written on why the student wishes to become
a Reiki Master/Teacher. It is discussed at length. The master symbol is introduced and practiced. The benefits of living a
spirit-based life are discussed, as well.
WHAT
DOES THE TERM REIKI MASTER MEAN?
In Reiki, master means teacher. Master also means
that the student has come far enough along in his or her development that troublesome lifestyle habits and limiting belief
systems are taking less and less time and energy away from living a fully conscious life. A Master has taken the responsibility to become Master of himself
or herself. It is not a designation used for ego inflation or to manipulate others.One does not have to base their life on spiritual practices to be
a Reiki Master. Everyone has his or her own belief system and is quite free to maintain it and still be considered a Reiki
Master. The mastery is in dealing with oneself so that one is able to stay in his or her own energy and not interfere with
the path of another being.
